As the Egyptian PV market is growing exponentially, it was required to develop a Quality Infrastructure roadmap to provide awareness, trust, safety & quality assurance to support this growth. Within the framework of cooperation between the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy (MOERE), the New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA), the Electricity Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency (EgyptERA), Electricity Distribution Companies, as well as the private sector, the Egyptian-German Joint Committee on Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Environmental Protection (JCEE) and in collaboration with NREA , a QI Roadmap for Egyptian Market was developed after  the identification of  existing gaps in the market. The assignments focused on four key areas: on-grid & off-grid regulations, local manufacturing and capacity building.  The framework was based on the deployment of: Standards, Certification, Testing Processes, Accreditation, Inspection Bodies, Metrology & Market Surveillance.

The methodology of the assignment was based on:

1-      Identifying involved stakeholders
